Origin Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Team N22

Located in Wood Green, Origin Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Team N22 has been a fixture of North London’s martial arts scene since 2003. The academy was founded by Dr Mark Phillips, a 4th degree BJJ black belt under Professor Marc Walder and a brown belt in judo, with nearly four decades of martial arts experience. Dr Phillips’ background as a criminal psychologist and security consultant directly shapes the academy’s practical approach to self-defence and personal development. His teaching blends technical mastery in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with an emphasis on mindset, situational awareness, and applying martial arts to real-life scenarios. The training schedule is designed to accommodate a wide range of interests and abilities, with classes in gi and no-gi BJJ, MMA, and San Da kickboxing running seven days a week. Beginners are welcomed into dedicated sessions, particularly on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings, while more experienced students can progress through intermediate and advanced classes. The academy also offers women’s BJJ, children’s classes, open mat sessions, and personal training options. This structure ensures that students develop solid fundamentals before advancing, with bespoke curriculums tailored to each level. At Origin Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Team N22, the philosophy goes beyond technical drills. Students are encouraged to think critically and creatively, learning how to translate traditional martial arts concepts to modern self-defence. The environment is deliberately inclusive and supportive, with Dr Phillips and his team fostering teamwork and personal growth alongside skill development. With a comprehensive timetable and access to gym equipment, fitness classes, and open mat training, the academy remains committed to producing well-rounded martial artists prepared for both competition and everyday challenges.
